Parag Pendharkar

I paint the way, I feel; I am gifted to feel differently, every time.
There may seem no common style in my paintings.

I continue my scribbles with paints on Canvas/ Paper or Digital media.

I have no formal education in art.
I do not claim to possess the finese and the originality of a good painter.

It was initiated through constant mockery, about my inability to "Draw", at school and later as a Mechanical Draftsman.
I recollect recieving most of the punishments due to my handicap.
Something snapped and I rebelled; with a burning desire to prove them wrong.
At the age of 20, I displayed my first oil on canvas in a gallery and won a prize for "Velazquez's Venus".

Note: Few older paintings are copied from Masterpieces. I have retained in this gallery, on purpose.
(With due respect to the Art masters. They have been my sole tutors.)
